STYLE SPECIAL
WELCOME
Live fast, work fast, shop fast; that can often be the
cycle we're caught up in. And, because of that, we’re
surrounded by messages to slow down, and slow down
we must – not just for our physical and mental health,
but for the health of the world, too. That’s why we’re
shining the spotlight on the environmentally conscious
brands to buy into this spring. Want the best news? Being kind has
never looked so good!
To kick things off, we chatted with activist and fashionista
Caryn Franklin, who tells us about the currency of her clothes and
encourages us to believe in the power of the purse. And, if Caryn’s
wise words aren’t enough to persuade you to embrace your eco
fashion warrior, turn to page 10 for our 14-page green shopping
guide – there’s treasures aplenty for a wardrobe to feel proud of.
For a fresh look at the fashion industry, we caught up with
co-founder of eco label Gather&See Alicia Taylor, where she reveals
why there’s more to ethical fashion than tie-dye t-shirts. Check out
her top picks on page 28 to elevate your outfits. So, whether you’re
looking for ultra-glam accessories, well-crafted footwear or some chic
staples to update your wardrobe, it’s never been cooler to be kind.
